Aromas of spiced pear, lemon zest and white flowers combined with complex flinty notes. Long and pure, the palate shows fresh pear and citrus flavours combined with subtle toasty oak and crisp, mineral acidity. A delicate, yet powerful wine.

"In a different universe to its Jaluka Henty Chardonnay sibling. The complex flowery, scented and powdery bouquet slips alongside the intense and equally complex palate. Incoming winemaker Clare Dry has nailed a wine that allows delicacy and intensity equal time, stone fruit and grapefruit ditto. Will reveal more and more over the next five-plus years."

"Mealy, nutty, nougat, white flowers, nectarine and grapefruit aromas. Fine, layered and long on the palate, citrus pith, white peach, nutty oak and lively, bright acidity. Generous with plenty of layers and complexity."

"Left un-sulphured up to blending, more or less. Has come back from puncheon to barrique for the fermenting and resting. “Pent up, lots of texture and phenolics. The 2021 harvest was excellent too, no interruptions really, plans kind of went through the right way”.
Limey, saline, fine and gently savoury. The wine is pent up, lighter than expected but still with plenty of texture, waxiness, the core of frisky, brittle, briny acidity. Seems to hold lots of flavour, stick to its nuttiness and Parisian almond zone flavours, yet bright, long, tight. Complex, quietly. Delicacy a forte. Does so many things, and delivers a verity to region and variety. Seriously good gear here."
